Extraordinary Joe Poem by Joe Hughes

They've really got a downer,
Not on Kevin nor on Flo.
No! The one they say will not inspire
Is just your ordinary Joe!

They say Joe Bloggs is so mundane,
He's never in a show,
But surely that cannot be true -
There's lots of famous Joes.

In politics there's Stalin,
Boxing Bugner's name is Joe,
The Blues - they have Joe Turner,
I'm sure there's several that you know.

The father of the Kennedys -
A complicated Joe,
There's Losey and Di Maggio,
Right now I'm in my flow

There's Longthorne, Brand, Saint Joseph,
There's Stafford and Joe Brown,
I'm really at a loss to know
Why Joes are so put down.

So no more Bloggs or Average,
No names derogatory,
From now all Joes will always be
Just people - extraordinary!
